READERS' CLEARING HOUSE
For a Smooth Show?
B. G.. Washington
Our group is having a fund
raising fashion snow and
bridge. Can anyone offer sug
gestions on how to run it
successfully?
The chore-assignment dis
cussion should be an interest
ing one in this column.
Our children make their
beds regularly. At age nine,
one began to take complete
responsibility for the kitchen
—the most difficult room in
the house—after meals. She
put away perishables, scraped
and stacked dishes and swept
the floor. By age 11, she was
washing the dishes, while a
younger child dried and put
them away.
At 5. a child should be
responsible for an easy room,
such as the living room. She
can pick up, stack magazines
neatly and dust lightly.
From 7 to 9, the child is
able to be completely respon
sible for the dining room and
bedroom; can also set the ta
ble daily, clear it and take out
the trash. After age 7, the
child can give her drawers and
room a weekly cleaning with
dust-cloth, furniture polish
and carpet sweeper.
With supervision any child
from age 3 on can make cake
mixes, Jello, frostee and cook
ies. He can even be responsible
for his appearance at dinner.
Each night after “grace,” we
have an exciting neatness con
test. Dad says in a circus
voice, "The WINNAH tonight
is . . .” And it’s amazing how
the children enjoy the chal
lenge and remind us to choose.
The aforementioned tasks
sound like a burden, but chil
dren love tegular responsibil
ity, discipline AND praise.

Pleased by Pulley Lamp
Mrs. E. R. £., Arlington
For the reader who inquired
about a pulley lamp:
We bought one two weeks
ago and are delighted with it.
The wall-extender type did
not reach far enough and we
exchanged it for the celling
type.

I for the ceiling outlet and in
, stalled the fixture easily. As
we live in an apartment and
can't make too many changes,
we painted a pie plate and cut
a hole in the center to fit
against the ceiling and cover
the wires, etc., that would have
shown.
Our fixture gives a soft light

Avocados and What?
i i. K., Arlington
Some years ago I tasted
“Guacamole” salad, when 1
was in Mexico City, and I
liked it very much. Does any
one have a recipe for
making it?
I know it is made of avoca
dos, but I’m not sure of the
other ingredients. I enjoy
RCH and will be eagerly
awaiting an answer to my
request.
